Osaka Castle was erected as a result of Hideyoshi Hashiba’s (portrayed by Shindo Eitaro) solicitation from Kyogoku Tatsuko (depicted by Fuji Junko) to become his consort. During more than 30 years, until the devastation of the castle caused by the Summer Siege of Osaka, a series of tragedies unfold, affecting various women who found themselves at the mercy of fate..
A drama series that aired a total of 39 episodes on Fuji Television in 1970. Set against the backdrop of over 30 years, from the construction to the fall of Osaka Castle, this unique production portrayed the tumultuous lives of women who ranged from historical figures to the wives of nameless foot soldiers and female ninja (or kunoichi in Japanese). The narrative unfolded in a series of 2 to 3 episode omnibus segments. Notably, the actresses including Fuji Junko, Toake Tokio, Mita Yoshiko, Yamamoto Yoko, Ohara Reiko, Miyazono Junko, Kaga Mariko, and Yachigusa Kaoru, who portrayed the protagonists in each episode, delivered exceptional performances. The role of Hideyoshi was also skillfully portrayed by Toei’s renowned supporting actor, Shindo Eitaro. The aerial opening shots of Osaka Castle, captured over four decades ago during the drama’s production, evoke a sense of nostalgia.
